Creighton University

Major: Biology (This Major's Salary over time)
I went to Creighton for a Bachelor's Degree in Biology and then went back to get my nursing degree in the acclerated program. I throughly enjoyed both experiences for many reasons.

I found the student body to be diverse. I came from a white middle class USA family in small town to the "Big City". I left Creighton with a very diverse friend group. One of my best friends is from Japan (not just hawaii) and one of them is from Africa. Not to mention, I have a good hispanic friend and Indian friend from my college days. I didn't have to look hard to meet them either. By numbers, Creighton may be primarily white, middle and upper class students, but I diversified my experiences by becoming involved and looking for opportunities to branch out and meet new people.

I felt the academic program was more difficult than high school. The professors treated all the students fairly and not every class was centered around

and this relates to Catholocism by…

I became good friends with several faculty members over my years there. And even a few of the Jewish professors (I'm catholic). I found stimulating conversation every where I went.

I think if you don't seek out your experiences, you're not going to have any. If you don't go out and talk to people on campus that are from different backgrounds, they're not going to talk to you. If you're in your room pounding away on your keyboard all the time, you're probably not going to get out and get involved with the extra-curricular activites.

Creighton is about working hard and playing harder. Giving back to the community and doing well for yourself and others. It's a great university if you are an active participant. School isn't just about the books, it's about meeting new people and having life experiences. You can't have those if you don't leave the dorm.
